Chapter 631 The Collision of Light and Darkness (1)
Although he was seriously injured, the eyeless Dante still kept an eye on the essence of the field marching. The army passed by, and the scouts stretched out nearly hundreds of kilometers away. They did not understand the situation and would never advance rashly to ensure that their army was not attacked by sneak attacks.
This action was very effective. Wherever the dark army went, Dante could immediately know the surrounding situation. When the army reached 150 kilometers in front of the God of War Post, the dark assassin in the northeast brought back a very critical news.
Three hundred kilometers northeast of the northeast, an invader army stationed on Mount Mogas, with at least 5,000 people and well-equipped. One of them is a hard and huge alchemy puppet. Judging from the aura of power it exudes, its combat power should be no less than that of ordinary iron-eating giants.
"Is it to prevent me from crossing the post and entering your hinterland?" Dante sneered. He could see the other party's true intention at a glance, rather than suspecting that the other party wanted to use this army to sneak attack his back. Of course, if he didn't find out, the army would definitely come to sneak attack, but the opponent's initial strategic intention must be to block his progress.
He has dealt with the other party twice and knows that at their level, he will never make low-level mistakes on the battlefield and will rarely make mistakes.
For them, the most important thing in battle is not even the power of the warriors, but information, various information, control of one's own side, understanding of the enemy, and mastering the terrain and environment, each of them is very important.
If one of the parties' information collection capabilities are not as strong as the other party, even if the power in his hands is stronger than the opponent, due to the error in using information, he will make misjudgments on the battlefield and adopt inappropriate tactics, which will lead to fatal flaws. If he is caught by his opponent and takes the opportunity to fight back, even if he wins, it will only be a tragic victory with huge losses!
After thinking about it, Dante ordered: "Go forward at full speed. Hurry up to the invader's post before dark, and after resting for half an hour, start the attack!"
The opponent is more than 300 kilometers away from here, while he is only 150 kilometers away from the invader's post. He is now raiding at full speed and is caught off guard by his opponent. In a short period of time, he may only need to face his opponent's strength.
By then, he will attack with all his might. It is very likely that he will attack the lower sentry in one go.
Even if the other party starts to return to the support now, they need time to come. Even if the other party is faster than him and enters the post first, they need time to adjust and cannot exert all their strength immediately. This short-term chaos is his chance.
If he can capture the post, he will use the post as a base and move forward layer by layer, which will not be without a chance of victory.
Under his command, the dark army's advancement speed suddenly became faster. For a moment, the dust mixed with dark red mist, sweeping and flying, and the footsteps roared like muffled thunder, like a high-speed chariot, rushing towards the battlefield quickly.
Just as Dante expected, when the blood-colored sun in the sky slid down the horizon and the light between heaven and earth completely disappeared, a huge invader's sentinel appeared in front of him.
This sentry has a double wall that makes Dante feel very troubled. The outer wall is full of soldiers. Magic balls of light used for lighting are floating around the soldiers' heads, which makes the entire city wall look like a giant snake with white light, and the neatly arranged soldiers are the spikes and poisonous fangs on the giant snake's body!
Dante had extremely rich experience in leading troops to fight. With just one glance, he could see that there were at least 10,000 soldiers on the city walls, and they were arranged neatly, with a quiet momentum, and there was no sense of haste.
But the news he got was that there were about five thousand people in the fortress.
But now there are five thousand more out of thin air, which only means that when the Dark Assassin returns the news to him, the opponent decisively returned to the support, and the time to arrive at the post was much earlier than that of him. Now, the opponent has finished repairing and is just waiting for him to attack.
The last little plan was also vain. Dante felt depressed. The feeling of being restrained everywhere, unable to relax the strength and thoughts in his mind quietly emerged from the bottom of his heart. He shook his head quickly and drove these negative emotions out of his mind.
"Keep a distance of one thousand meters, rest on the spot, and start siege in five hours!" Dante passed a new order. Since the opponent was ready, he didn't have to rush to attack.
Now, his army rests and restores its energy, making the other party alert with fear. By late at night, the other party's spirit and strength will definitely fall into a trough, and then he will take advantage of this small advantage to attack.
As for the distance of one thousand meters, this is to prevent opponents from using ranged weapons, such as bows and arrows to harass them.
After the order was passed, Dante hid deep in the army, and a large number of dark ghosts and masters of various races were arranged around him, which was to prevent the use of beheading tactics on the ground.
The night in the crimson land is extremely dark and has a powerful absorption effect on any light. At night, the holy spirit warriors are greatly limited.
On the city wall, even if there are a large number of light balls, the light cannot be found fifty meters away. From afar, the soldiers on the city wall can hear the chaotic footsteps from the darkness in the distance, and various roars and speeches, but they cannot see the target. They can only see a darkness mixed with a blood-colored halo in their eyes.
Everyone knows that the dark army has arrived, not far from the city, but they can only watch, unable to leave the city to invade, and unable to take the initiative to attack. The thick darkness like a city wall has become the best protective layer of the dark army.
On the city wall, the demigod incarnations of the gods stood beside the Holy Spirit warriors they brought, and were evenly distributed on the city wall.
Ten thousand people, about 1,500 meters long city wall, 41 demigods incarnate, each demigod leads more than 250 soldiers on average, responsible for defending for 40 meters. Rollin is naturally there, William, the god of wilderness Taros, the god of winter, the god of wild beasts, the goddess of spring, and the goddess of forest are all responsible for defending the west.
When the battle begins, they will bear the most pressure.
Among the posts, the nominal supreme commander is Allen, but Allen delegated the specific command to Rollin's body, so the entire post is now obeying the will of Rollin's body on the third floor of the fortress.
The Holy Spirit soldiers could not see through the darkness, but for Rollin, who already possessed nearly medium divine power, this was naturally not a problem.
His divine power turned into strands and spread out of the city wall, and he could clearly feel the situation outside the city. However, when he saw all the dark warriors resting, he understood Dante's intention after a moment of thinking.
"Do you want to wait for your work?" Luo Lin smiled slightly, and one of his orders turned into a divine thought. It directly mapped into the mind of the craftsman leader on standby in the square outside the post.
In order to deal with this war, Luo Lin spared no effort to make a lot of preparations. In addition to building weapons and equipment, the craftsmen also created a large number of powerful catapults.
Because of the unique toughness of the abyss materials, and the use of strong divine crystal cold iron in the key parts of the catapult, various divine talismans that increase power were drawn on the catapult made of, which made these machines possess unimaginable powers of similar weapons in the mortal world.
Due to time issues, the craftsmen only built ten trench machines, each of which was a giant. The ammunition was a huge rock weighing ten tons, and the throwing range was a terrifying three thousand meters!
This is much beyond Dante's estimate.
With the addition of the Iron-eating Giant, the mining efficiency of the sentry caves has greatly increased, and there are a lot of gravel out of thin air in the sentry. Originally, these gravels were used to lay the ground outside the sentry, but now, these gravels were melted into one piece by divine power, becoming huge rocks, so the trenchers were not short of ammunition at all.
These ammunitions are also specially made, and the boulders are hollow. There are many dense gaps like honeycombs inside, which are full of a lot of divine power. They will explode after being projected to hit the target. The fragments carry divine power and can cause huge damage to dark creatures.
When Luo Lin thought about it, a voice sounded in the head of the craftsman: "To the west of the city wall, 835 to 1,500 meters away, attack at will!"
As the sound appeared, there was another image in the craftsman's mind, but it was the situation outside the city that Luolin felt. The two cooperated. The leader of the craftsman immediately had a clear understanding of the situation outside the city. He began to run on the slashing machines, shouting loudly at the enemy's position data, and directing the craftsmen to challenge the slashing machines' orientation rudder.
About five minutes later, ten trenchers were in place. The craftsman leader confirmed it again. After confirming that everything was normal, he shouted: "Attack!"
"Hu~Hu~" the sound of the mechanical hukou sounded, and the huge stone caster swung rapidly, and the huge stone full of divine power flew out. Beautiful light formed in the sky and rushed into the darkness that was as solid as the essence.
The soldiers' eyes turned with these lights. When the light rushed out hundreds of meters, the light in the sky disappeared due to the darkness, and the howling sound became minimal. The dark army opposite seemed to understand what was going on. They might also be watching the meteor-like boulders descending in the sky, but suddenly there was no sound.
The scene was like a dark beast swallowing up all the attacks of the catapult, and the world began to become silent.
The silent time lasted about five seconds. Five seconds later, a ball of light suddenly burst out in the darkness in the distance, like lightning, briefly but clearly pierced through the darkness, and suddenly showed the position of the dark army.
Following this was a huge wave of sound, including the explosion of huge rocks, the screams, roars, and roars of creatures in the abyss, all kinds of things, and they were extremely chaotic.
"What's going on? Damn it! It's a giant catapult!" Dante understood it at once. Just to prevent the opponent from a long-range weapon, he stopped nearly a thousand meters away. He thought he had been dodging far enough, but he didn't expect that he was still attacked.
This was his mistake, and this mistake immediately caused considerable losses to the dark army.
At this time, it would be very unwise for them to start attacking in a hurry, because many soldiers were fooled by this terrible attack. If they attacked together, the scene would be absolutely chaotic, with a ball of mud, and less than 70% of their combat power.
"Back! Back!" Dante ordered loudly, his mind was very clear.
The dark army began to retreat, and because of the sudden blow, the scene was extremely chaotic. Although they had been retreating since they heard the order, it took more than ten minutes before they retreated to three thousand meters away. During this period, the huge rocks of the catapult were farewell all the way, killing and injuring countless dark warriors, and one of them was even damaged.
This giant beast was also unlucky. His head had just been hit by a huge rock. It was a ten-ton rock. It flew at high speed, at least one hundred meters per second, and was full of divine power. It hit his head and a large amount of divine power penetrated, destroying his defense. As a result, half of his head was smashed and he was finished on the spot.
Half an hour after exiting the range of the catapult, the specific losses were also counted.
"Injured 1,189, seriously injured 351, and 122 deaths, among which a giant abyss beast died in battle."
Before the fight started, the other party had not even touched the other party's hair, and the soldiers' faces showed panic.
Seeing this, Dante's heart skipped a beat, and it felt very bad. He had to do something. (To be continued.)
